May chords by Richard Shindell

Richard Shindell - May



INTRO: Em   G  C   Em  G  C

Em                  C
Listen closely, May
     Em               C       D
This phone may not be safe
              C
I have been betrayed
    D           C
And I must leave today

Em              C
Where, I cannot say
Em             C
Somewhere far away
D            C
Maybe to the States
      D           C
Where no one knows my face


CHORUS:
   G
So May, take care of the kids
            D
Tell them I love them
                C
I'll send a few quid when I can
  G
I know, this is no kind of life
                     D
But you've got to be strong
             C                Em    G  C   Em   G  C
When you're a fugitive's wife


    Em                C
I'm calling from some booth
    Em              C
And no, I can't come home
D               C
This is not goodbye
  D            C
I love you more than life


CHORUS:
   G
So May, take care of the kids
            D
Tell them I love them
                C
I'll send a few quid when I can
  G
I know, this is no kind of life
                     D
But you've got to be strong
             C                Em    G  C   Em   G  C   Em
When you're a fugitive's wife



Something is not right
                         C       D
The streets are much too quiet
                    C
The shops all locked up tight
        D           C
There's not one soul in sight


CHORUS:
    G
And May, take care of the kids
            D
Tell them I love them
                C
I'll send a few quid when I can
  G
I know, this is no kind of life
                     D
But you've got to be strong
              C
When you're a fugitive's wife
    G
And May, they've got me in sight
There's at least twenty-five
It's down to a fight or a flight
May
